Origin and history

The former mansion, known as Mr. Bertin's hotel, is an iconic building dating from the 1st quarter of the 19th century, located at 26 rue d'Hauteville, in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. This building, inscribed in the Historical Monuments by decree of 23 October 2001, illustrates the bourgeois residential architecture of this period, marked by the rise of private hotels in the capital under the influence of post-revolutionary urban transformations.

The location of the hotel, although noted as fair (level 5/10) in the heritage databases, corresponds to the official address recorded in the Merimée database. Owned by a private company, its current use (visits, rentals, guest rooms) is not specified in the available sources. The protected elements include the entire old hotel, as delimited on the plan annexed to the registration order, under the cadastral reference AU 22.

The historical context of this hotel is a time when Paris is experiencing rapid urban expansion, with the construction of many private hotels for the aristocracy and the rising bourgeoisie. These residences, often located in developing neighbourhoods such as the 10th arrondissement, reflect the architectural tastes of the time, blending classicism and innovations related to industrialization. Registration for the Historic Monuments underscores its heritage value, although details of its sponsor, Mr. Bertin, or its architect remain missing from the accessible archives.
